A comparison of different APTT-reagents, heparin-sensitivity and detection of mild coagulopathies
(1992)
The activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) is widely used to detect coagulation abnormalities or to monitor heparin treatment.
Many commercial aPTT-reagents are available which contain different phospholipid reagents and activators. In the present study 3 aPTT-reagents (aPTT-D, Instrumentation Laboratory, Neothromtin, Behring, PTTa, Boehringer) were compared using a computerized centrifugal analyzer. One aPTT-reagent (Pathromtin, Behring) was tested on a semiautomated coagulometer. Instrument precision was evaluated using aPTT-D as reagent.
Comparative tests were performed on plasma samples of 40 healthy donors, 3 patients with mild von Willebrand's disease (vWd), W patients with heaemophilia or subhaemophilia A, 1 patient with subhaemophilia A and vWd, 8 patients treated with subcutaneous injection of unfractionated heparin (UFH) and 14 patients treated with subcutaneous injection of a low molecular weight heparin (LMWH).
aPTT-D was the most sensitive reagent to detect mild vWd while Pathromtin detected none of these defects. In patients with heamophilia A and subhaemophilia A aPTT-D, Neothromtin and PTTa detected the abnormality in nearly all tested samples while Pathromtin was less sensitive.
Patients treated with subcutaneously applied UFH or LMWH often had a prolonged aPTTt especially when aPTT-D and Neothromtin were used as reagents.
Herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) is the main cause of herpes genitalis, a recurrent sexually transmitted disease. By the use of routine Serologie methods (complement fixation test, enzyme immunoassay), virus carriers are difficult to identify because of strong antibody cross reactions with antigens of HSV-1 which is ubiquitously spread throughout the population. We introduce a microtechnique Western blot system loaded with HSV-1 and HSV-2 type-specific and common antigens on separated nitrocellulose strips. By the simultaneous evaluation of Immunologie reactions with both strips, the occurrence of HSV-2 specific antibodies can be sensitively detected in serum specimens containing antibodies to HSV-1. A total of 158 serum specimens were analyzed and the results obtained by Western blot were compared to those of a screening ELISA and virus isolation performed with smears of herpes lesions.
An agreement of 97.9 % was assessed between Western blot and virus isolation to detect an HSV-1 and HSV-2 infection. Less specific serologic results were produced by the screening ELISA on HSV-2 antibodies which correlated in 85.4 % (41/48) with virus isolation and typing. Concerning HSV-2 antibody testing, Western blot and ELISA showed an overall agreement in 89.8 % of the sera investigated.
As shown by our data, the HSV type specific Western blot proved to be a specific, reproducible and standardized technique. It can be utilized for both sero-epidemiological surveys and determination of the HSV immune status.
Zum Screening auf Bence Jones-Proteinurie wird die Immunfixations-Elektrophorese (IFE) des unkonzentrierten Harnes empfohlen. Aufgrund einer Nachweisempfindlichkeit für freie Leichtketten zwischen 9 und 65 mg/1 werden die klinisch relevanten Bence Jones-Proteinurien erfaßt.
Der VK-Wert der Intraassay-Präzision der IFE zum Bence Jones-Proteinnachweis beträgt 12 %, derjenige der Interassay-Präzision 30%.
Mit der Ausbildung eines Zonenphänomens in der IFE beim Screening auf Bence Jones-Proteinurie muß gerechnet werden, wenn die Bence Jones-Proteinausscheidung vom Kappa-Typ über 1,4 g/l und vom Lambda-Typ über 0,7 g/l beträgt.
Die Konzentrationsbestimmung von Bence Jones-Protein sollte mit der Biuret-Methode erfolgen. Mit der Coomassie Brilliant Blau G 250-Methode wird Bence Jones-Protein nur in sehr unterschiedlichem Ausmaß erfaßt.
Young poplar cuttings (Populus nigra L. cv. Loenen and P. maximowiczii Henry x P. nigra L. cv. Rochester) were exposed for six weeks in open-top chambers to realistic concentrations of pollutant mixtures: 1) control; 2) SO2/NOx; 3)O3/ NOx and 4)SO2/O3/NOx. In this sequence of fumigation variants, the degree of influence of the various parameters of the nitrogen metabolism and of premature leaf drop increased very frequently compared to the control plants, P. nigra L. proving to be the more sensitive species.
The elevated Kjeldahl nitrogen content of the fumigated leaves was accompanied by either an increase in free amino acids or in total protein or, in the case of particularly large rises (SO2/O3/NOx variants), by increases in both substance groups. Proteolytic processes as a cause of the elevated content of free amino acids could be excluded to a large extent. A diminished de novo synthesis of proteins obviously led to a shift in the amino acid/protein relationship. In the younger fumigated leaves, the total concentration of free amino acids exceeded the values of the older leaves. The elevated amino acid content of the fumigated leaves was produced to a high degree by the glycolate pathway and the Krebs cycle. The increased turnover of the carbon skeletons was connected with a drastic starch degradation, especially in the older leaves.
The interaction of the amino acid and carbohydrate metabolisms is probably an important regulator in the promotion of rapid growth of young leaves in order to compensate premature leaf loss.
The sesquiterpenoic alcohol nerolidol was separated into its 4 stereoisomers by MPLC of the diastereomeric (1 S, 4 R)-camphanoates.
An analytical GC method was found by which both the enantiomeric pairs of (Z)- and (E)-nerolidol are resolved on a chiral cyclodextrin stationary phase. The olfactoric properties of the nerolidol stereoisomers were investigated.
